Thank you for your thoughts and encouragement to contest this.  My EBSCO rep is willing to see what she can do, if that fails I'll go to the publisher myself.

Hi Sally,
I have also seen some strange additional invoices and credits. I have gotten
price adjustments, as well as credits for "deep discounts" from 3 years
previous. Apparently, in some instances, it can take awhile for
publishers/vendors to adjust their accounts and pass it on to the customers.
I have gotten credit notes for invoices that were paid 3 years before, and
have nothing to apply them to.
